Maine voters have seemingly grown sick of Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) expressing concerns over President Donald Trump, only to back him at almost every turn.
The GOP senator has long been known as a moderate and won her fourth term, in 2014, with 68 percent of the vote, but the Trump presidency and especially her actions during Brett Kavanaughs confirmation has exposed how flimsy that reputation actually is, reported Slate.
I actually had this grain of hope that [Collins] would see all this information and hear all of this evidence and weigh all of these facts and come to the logical conclusion, said Karin Leuthy, who researched Kavanaughs case history and helped compile a brief opposing his nomination. And when she didnt, I felt really duped, and ashamed that I had been duped. Since then, I am no longer naïve, and I wont be duped again.
Leuthy and other activists presented the brief to Collins, who accused them of taking dark money and spreading outright falsehoods about the Trump nominee...........................

Personally, I can't wait to pull the chain on that political toilet that flushes her career.

I am from Nebraska, where we deserve to be embarrassed by our modern senators, but Maine, come on, she's pathetic.

Kavanaugh & how that perv. was rushed through with no credible F.B.I. investigation. You just know there was corruption there! Americans are tired of corruption! We deserve better & we can do much better!...

to think she was ever thought of as a moderate. She has shown herself to be much like her fellow republicans-spineless.
